Subject: [PATCH for review] [3/48] i386: do not restore reserved memory after hibernation


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

On some systems the ACPI NVS area is located in the first 1 MB of RAM and
it is overwritten by the i386 code during the restore after hibernation. 
This confuses the ACPI platform firmware that doesn't update the AC adapter
status appropriately as a result
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7995).

The solution is to register the reserved memory in the first 1 MB as
'nosave', so that swsusp doesn't touch it during the restore.  Also, this
has been done on x86_64 for a long time now, so this patch makes the i386
restore code behave like the x86_64 one.
